VHR-REA_IT Downscaling of ERA5 @2.2 km over Italy

The dataset contains dynamically downscaled ERA5 reanalysis, originally available at ≈31 km x 31 km horizontal resolution, to 2.2 km x 2.2 km. Dynamical downscaling was applied through Regional Climate Model (RCM) COSMO5.0_CLM9 e INT2LM 2.06. The temporal resolution of output is hourly (like for ERA5). Runs cover the whole Italian territory to provide a very detailed (in terms of space–time resolution) and comprehensive (in terms of meteorological fields) dataset of climatological data for at least the last 32 years (01/1981-12/2020). These types of datasets can be used for (applied) research and downstream services (e.g., for decision support systems).
